SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
11.4.1.15
Base Priority Mask Register
Name:
BASEPRI
Access: Read-write
Reset:
0x00000000
0
The BASEPRI register defines the minimum priority for exception processing. When BASEPRI is set to a nonzero value, it
prevents the activation of all exceptions with same or lower priority level as the BASEPRI value.
• BASEPRI
Priority mask bits:
0x0000 = no effect.
Nonzero = defines the base priority for exception processing.
The processor does not process any exception with a priority value greater than or equal to BASEPRI.
This field is similar to the priority fields in the interrupt priority registers. The processor implements only bits[7:
4
] of this field,
bits[3:0] read as zero and ignore writes. See
“Interrupt Priority Registers”
for more information. Remember that higher pri-
ority field values correspond to lower exception priorities.
